Sentil Party who doubted the achievement of lifting RI, Bahlil: Not Omon-omon!

JAKARTA - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia has criticized a handful of people who doubt the achievement of lifting the Republic of Indonesia in 2025 which has reached the target. For information, the lifting achievement throughout 2025 reached 605,000 barrels per day.

Bahlil then compared this achievement with the achievement in 2024 which only touched the figure of 585.00 barrels per day. According to him, this achievement was realized because the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources together with SKK Migas carried out improvements to regulations in the upstream oil and gas.

"But with the 'ingredients' in the first year, Alhamdulillah our lifting in 2025 reached the state budget target of 605,000 barrels per day. So this, this is a fact. This is not a rumor," said Bahlil in a Public Lecture in Jakarta, Thursday, February 12.

Bahlil also asked that this achievement be seen objectively and not politicized because the data for lifting in 2025 can be proven by data.

"Don't let Party A say that this data is different, even though he was a minister before, he didn't go around the goods. When he was given authority, he was given a task, he didn't do it, what was it? What was the conspiracy there?" he said.

He added that this lifting achievement did not come from the discovery of a giant oil field but from policies and the use of technology.

"So our state budget target for the last 10 years has only been achieved at 605,000 barrels per day. If you ask the question, is there a discovery of a new large block? No!" said Bahlil.

For information, based on data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, throughout 2025, Indonesia's lifting achievement reached 605,3000 BOPD or 100.05 percent of the target set in the State Budget (APBN) for 2025.

The average lifting oil figure of 605,300 barrels per day includes Natural Liquid Gas (NGL) and condensate produced by PT Donggi Senoro LNG.
